Cozy Mason Jar Sweater Candles

After an unusually warm start, winter has finally arrived here in Georgia in the form of our first snow! At my house, that signals building a fire, making hot chocolate and getting cozy...and what better way to get cozy than to add the warmth of candlelight in the evening! With this simple and inexpensive touch, you can even add coziness to your candles…with sweaters!

Here’s what you will need:

Mason jar or other glass jar

Sleeves from an old sweater, preferably one with a design that would let the candlelight show through (I found my sweater at Goodwill)

Needle and thread

Votive candle (I used battery-operated candles)

And here’s what you will do:
Start by cutting the sleeve a little bit longer than the jar.

Next, put the sleeve on the jar, turn the jar upside down and, with a needle and thread, gather up the unfinished edge, fitting it over the bottom of the jar.

Pull the stitches tightly and tie off the knot to create the bottom of the candle cover.

Finish your cozy candle off with jute twine if you wish…

…or fold the sleeve over for a simple, clean look. Now just add the candles and enjoy the glow!

Baby Kitty says he loves the way sweaters make everything feel cozy inside the house, especially when there’s snow outside!

And if you are looking for more ways to cozy up your home with sweaters, here is my easy NO-SEW SWEATER WREATH for a warm and welcoming look that starts at the front door!

And, of course, nothing says cozy like SWEATER PILLOWS…and they are so fun, easy and inexpensive to make, too!
